Donate to The Duke of Edinburgh's Award

For young people from marginalised backgrounds, their ambitions can often feel out of reach. Like you, we want to ensure that financial barriers don't stand in the way of a young person's aspirations.

“Because I’ve grown up without having lots of money, I’ve learnt how to keep my money and save it from Christmases and birthdays so when money became a big problem, I could help my mum with buying food...

After my DofE, I got offered an apprenticeship, and it's made me want to go into youth work and help other people do their DofE and give them this experience."

- Sophie, Gold Award holder

Last year, nearly 50,000 young people facing financial hardship began their DofE journey. By 2026, we want to see 1.6 million young people starting a life-changing DofE programme.

Donate today and help more young people like Sophie access the life-changing benefits of a DofE Award.
